Hi
 
Downloaded the experimental version and control M works for me, so that's fixed that issue.
 
Looks like you've also fixed some of the labelling of various checkboxes, which is great too.
 
Cheers.

Hello!
 
Eddie 2.10.1 Experimental is now out. With Control M you can open the menu, with Control P you can open the Preferences window and with Control A you can open the "About" window. Eddie 2.10.1 can be downloaded in the usual download page: click "Other versions" then select "Experimental".
 
 
 
 
Yes, you're right. The developer is aware of this problem. Some more time is needed to fix that.
 
 
 
Thank you very much, please feel free to keep sending us your feedback: it is very much appreciated and always kept into consideration.
 
Kind regards

Hello,
 
thanks everybody!
 
We opted to force in the new Eddie 2.10.1 Experimental 128 kB size buffers by default. There is a new option that allows the user to select, for each buffer, OpenVPN Default, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 and 512 kB, in addition of course to the option to edit directives.
 
128 kB size buffers at the moment seem the best compromise between latency (which is not compromised at all) and performance. Only users with slow lines (dial-up or ISDN lines) could probably prefer to set smaller buffers.
 
Kind regards

Hello!

We're very glad to inform you that a new 1 Gbit/s server located in Philadelphia, PA (USA) is available: Metallah.
 
The AirVPN client will show automatically the new server, while if you use the OpenVPN client you can generate all the files to access them through our configuration/certificates/key generator (menu "Client Area"->"Config generator").
 
The server accept connections on ports 53, 80, 443, 2018 UDP and TCP.
 
Just like every other Air server, Metallah supports OpenVPN over SSL and OpenVPN over SSH.

As usual no traffic limits, no logs, no discrimination on protocols and hardened security against various attacks with separate entry and exit-IP addresses.

Do not hesitate to contact us for any information or issue.

Kind regards and datalove

Hello,
 
curious indeed... 204.194.237.19 is not an IP address of ours (it seems to be assigned to Direct Media LLC) and server2.lax.airvpn.org is not an existing name. How it was defined on your system and how could it resolve into that IP address remains to be investigated, but only you can do it.
 
Kind regards

Hello!
 
We do not use and we have never used OpenDNS. We have our own DNS servers which resolve also NameCoin and OpenNIC names and allow you to use Geo-Location routing.
 
OpenDNS is not even compatible with our mission and DNS features of our DNS servers are reported very clearly, in part even in the home page, anyway please see:
https://airvpn.org/specs
 
@6501166996442015
Where in the world did you get the weird, curious, creepy, strange, peculiar, bizarre (ok, enough with the Thesaurus ) idea: "but seems AirVPN is now using OpenDNS to manage their DNS."?
 
Kind regards

Hello!
 
Yes, you posted it in "General & Suggestions" and we moved it here to "Reviews", a more appropriate location since it compares AirVPN with PIA. It is more likely that it gets higher visibility here, not there, and you can see that actually the debate has become hot. We like and we reserve the right to move any thread in any forum section to make the forum more readable.
 
At same time, we are pleased to see that this forum has become an attractive place for several PIA customers. Interestingly, this thread is showing some important information that PIA customers might like to consider carefully.
 
 
 
We show it because we have it. It's a matter of transparency.
 
It is not logged: it is showed in real time and stays in RAM until the client disconnects.
 
Note that contrarily to some of our competitors, we don't keep keys, user data etc. on the VPN servers. All the data are kept in backend servers which never communicates directly with clients, frontends or VPN servers. However, it is obvious that the VPN server knows the IP address a client connection is coming from: how would it communicate with the client otherwise? This is how the Internet works.
 
Additionally, you can hide your real IP address to our VPN servers, by connecting OpenVPN over a proxy (even Tor). And our client Eddie implements all of these options. It is the only free and open source VPN software that allows with a click a connection of OpenVPN over Tor even in OS X and Linux, with no requirements for any additional setup (except running Tor, of course), Virtual Machine etc. Not only these features are not implemented in our competitors software, but in most cases our competitors software, including PIA software, is closed source.
 
Hiding to the user data (that any VPN service has) could be a trick to attract less technically skilled persons, or even gullible people. It can be a marketing strategy. We don't like it and it is not compliant with our mission. https://airvpn.org/mission
 
 
If you share the connection with people you blindly trust, your concern is deeply illogical. But from your words it seems that you share your account with people you don't completely trust.
 
In this case, with AirVPN you can share your account with other people and keep control of your account: you just need to provide keys and certificates to the other persons, and keep your password for yourself. Inviolability of your Data Channel encryption is guaranteed by Diffie-Hellman exchange. In this way other people can connect to VPN servers but can't access your user control panel, can't change the password to gain total control of your panel etc. If they occupy all of your slots, you can even force a disconnection to free the slots. They can't forward ports, only you can, so that you can keep under control the most dangerous situations (example: an illegal web site "hosted" behind a VPN server). This is not possible with PIA and this is important with our service, because we have implemented a dynamic remote port forwarding system (with DDNS if you need it) which is "light-years ahead" than PIA system.
 
Anyway, it is important to underline that the account holder will be held responsible for any action of anyone using that account (assuming that PIA ToS allows this practice).
 

Note: As of 2017 AirVPN now supports 5 connections per account. But this has NOT changed our commitment to minimum allocated bandwidth. 
About 5 connections instead of 3, this is also a consequence of our commitment to minimum allocated bandwidth, which PIA does not provide. When you provide a "best effort" service without any warranty on bandwidth allocation per client, things change radically. Since AirVPN birth we have never used VPS for our VPN servers. We have dedicated servers with redundant uplink ports and bandwidth (with the exception of Hong Kong, where we were forced to accept a sufficient compromise) and PoP with tier 1-2 transit providers. Compare our servers status page with any competitor servers status page https://airvpn.org/status/ Click on the servers name to access plenty of data about them.
 
 
 
Please define properly and technically how "the security of the VPN" can be harmed by this: the point of hiding data that are anyway there, during the whole duration of a client session, is nonsensical.
 
The client just shows you the information that the VPN server has got and which it already communicates with (incidentally, very useful for other purposes); the frontend does the same. On top of that, we remind you once again that our client Eddie is free and open source, that it is totally optional to use it, and that, contrarily to the setup of most our competitors, entry-IP address and exit-IP address of VPN servers are different.
 
Kind regards
